Hello all,
A system on which I've been running osol without major problems for almost two
years now hangs, about the time when it tries to go into multi-user mode, I
think. I can boot into single-user mode, and zpool status reports no errors.
I have an error message coming up which was not
I disconnected from my motherboard the cable for the front panel USB ports.
This made the problem go away.

You can't run Solaris as dom0, because it has not been paravirtualized:

You can try running ntpd directly with /usr/lib/inet/ntpd --nofork and see
what happens.

As for LaTeX, TeX Live can be installed using the

I'm not sure if Blastwave are ever going to properly support IPS. I've gone
back to using their SVR4 packages. Their servers for SVR4 packages are working
fine.

You can install osol in your existing zpool on s6 as described
[url=http://blogs.sun.com/bobn/entry/solaris_and_opensolaris_coexistence_in]here[/url].
Otherwise, you can see if the osol installer will do an install on s0, creating
a new zpool. I'm pretty sure that installing osol in a UFS file
You can't grow the 30gb partition to take up the free space, since you can't
grow the physical devices that belong to a zpool: you can only add storage to a
zpool by adding devices.
The best thing would be to delete the 30 gb partition (copying any data you
want to preserve) and create a new

I've submitted the patch to the MPlayer developers
That link gives instructions for building MPlayer-1.0rc2. The MPlayer download
page describes that version as outdated, and recommends using a current
Subversion snapshot, which is what the original poster was trying to do.
If MPlayer-1.0rc2 is all you want, you might as well download the

doesn't have x264 encoding enabled.

For the record, MPlayer works fine under OpenSolaris on my desktop machine with
my new 23 inch monitor, with absolutely no configuration required.
I've never been inclined to run osol on laptops though, because I think that's
overkill, but mostly because I want suspend and hibernation to work.
Complain to the VLC developers. From their mailing list, it's apparent that
they think that OpenSolaris is a joke. Hence, they show no interest in making
their code compile under Solaris, in contrast to the MPlayer developers. Thus,
MPlayer compiles easily under OpenSolaris, but VLC doesn't.

Configure the OpenSolaris GRUB to boot your Linux installation by adding an
entry to /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst .
Hopefully you made a copy of menu.lst from your Ubuntu installation which you
have access to, the way you're supposed to if you're dual-booting osol.
Otherwise, you'll have to
Should one of the drives in the zpool fail I want the system to pop the big

Indeed. That's something I want, too.

I had the same problem: my firewall was blocking dhcp from getting new leases.
I finally figured out how to fix that when I ran across this blog post:

I believe that the main complication is that, as far as I know, the OpenSolaris
installation program cannot destroy existing partitions. You probably have
several partitions for SuSE; OpenSolaris puts everything into one ZFS
partition. The easiest thing to do would probably be to use fdisk from
There's no reason to pre-commit either way. You can have OpenSolaris and SXCE

SunStudio. which can be downloaded as a package in OpenSolaris. To control
whether gcc or SunStudio is used to build your programs, modify $PATH.

I recall reading that starting with the official release of 2008.11, official
updates will only be released with future official releases, e.g., 2009.4 or
whatever. Now that the dev repository (http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/) has
been introduced with the release of 2008.11, packages from

Sorry to jump in late.
The instructions for removing the WinXP partition given above seem to be
correct, but they won't do you much good, since ZFS won't automatically detect
the free space. Furthermore, I don't believe that you can even manually make
ZFS use the extra space, if you increase
If you want to explore OpenSolaris, why are you installing two different
distributions? Both OpenSolaris 2008.11 and BeeliniX come in the form of a live
CD. Why not play around with the live CD of each distribution, see which is
more to your liking, and then install just that one on your hard
It's very nice to know that mplayer compiles easily under OpenSolaris. But the
binary from Blastwave works fine, too.

Can you boot into single-user mode? You need to add -s to the kernel line
that grub reads. How to do that is explained here:

If you can, you should be able to run crle again to undo your change.

I read in the Solaris System Administration Guide: Basic Administration that
there is something called failsafe mode. I actually thought that that's what
you get into with the -s switch, but it turns out you need to specify a

As far as I know, the only packages that are different between 2008.11rc2 and
